Commercial Description:
Castlefield is a light brown ale that has moderate malt sweetness with a nutty / caramel character. Hop bitterness and malt are well balanced making this a very easy drinking beer. Named after the revitalized industrial area in Manchester, England that has several great pubs and restaurants along the old canals. 28IBU

Growler. Deep red pour with a small tan head. Aroma is of caramel, toast, some roasted barley, and hints of grain. Flavor follows much of the same trends found in the nose: A sweet caramel and toasted malt sweetness yields some dry roast and graininess. Palate is a tad thin for the style, but nicely effervescent and clean finishing.

On tap at Milly’s. The pour is mainly brown with about a quarter inch beige head and slightly cloudy. The aroma is nutty, malty, and caramel sweet. The mouthfeel runs about medium. The flavor is nutty, bready, and hopped. It was smooth overall with no aftertaste.

Sample shared with jcwattsrugger at Millys 06/11/09. Apparantly this is a newer ramped up recipe. Pours a clear cola like light brown with a 1/2" off white head. Nose is nutty with roasted malt. Palate is medium bodied with low carbonation, very easy drinking. Flavor is roasted malt with a nice nutty background. A little hop in the distance. Quite enjoyable.
